पुराणम्
English
दभीति / DABHĪTI. A hermit who is praised much in the ṛgveda. It is mentioned in ṛgveda, Maṇḍala 1, Anuvāka 16, Sūkta 112, that the aśvinīdevas had saved turvīti, dabhīti, dhvasanti and puruṣanti, the sons of indra, from a danger.
Vedic Reference
English
Dabhīti appears several times in the Rigveda as a hero or
sage. Indra overcomes on his behalf Cumuri and Dhuni
^1
he pressed Soma for Indra, ^2 who rewarded him.^3 For him
30, 000 Dāsas were sent to sleep, ^4 and for him the Dasyus were
bound without cords.^5 Dabhīti also appears, with Turvīti, as
a protégé of the Aśvins.^6 There seems no reason to deny that
he was a real person.^7
